Alanis Morissette Delocator
Alanis Morissette is playing tonight at the Jackie Gleason theater. Please don’t go. Morissette used to be cool, but recently she’s totally sold out, releasing an acoustic version of Jagged Little Pill. As if to make it clear that she wanted the last shreds of her credibility converted to cold hard cash, the album is available exclusively through Starbucks for the first six weeks of its release.
Now that you’re thoroughly disgusted, we give you the Stay Free Alanis Morissette Delocator. The idea behind the original Starbucks Delocator was to help people find non-Starbucks coffee shops. Same idea here.

Alanis Morissette’s career started out terribly (anybody remember her as just Alanis?) and over the years it appears she has done a full circle back to this. Jagged Little Pill was great for it’s time, but every successive album has missed the mark. The acoustic Jagged Little Pill album on Starbucks shelves will feel right at home in representing washed up Canadian artists; Sarah McLachlan has been doing this for years at Starbucks.
